Life in Death

A new play on finding freedom in mortality.

At the Camden Fringe 20th-22nd August 2018.

Life in Death

The year is 1964 and Wallace Jones sits on death row. He's only got an hour left before he is hanged for murder, but he's not repenting, he's not praying... he's juggling. There's an inmate talent show later on. He’s hoping to swing by on his way to the gallows.

Synopsis

While Wallace sits eating his final meal, the pair take a tense look back at their time together - all with one eye on the clock. As more unexpected revelations cause rifts in their relationship, the situation forces both to explore their conscience and, as they admit uncomfortable truths, the lines between right and wrong will become blurred beyond repair.

A piece of new writing from director Rowan Jacobs (who sold out shows at last year’s Camden Fringe with Serotonin), Life in Death questions how much fate can be controlled – and asks how much control we really want.
